'Nother day in the salt mine

'Nother day on the 'ole salt mine. Been cleaning up the site. Needs it bad, as we all do. It's really dusty here. It'll take me a couple more days to finish this. Dreamweaver is, well, never mind. I'm gonna grind it out, and get it done (I hope). I'll start to redesign the home page soon. I'll be in Zambia for the early part of next week conducting a presenattion and workshop on brand development for NGO's.

Sadly, like Laura, I'm constantly exposed to the dire circumstances of the people we visit on Hospice visits. It can be incredibly demoralising and heartbreaking. The consolation is the feeling of perhaps doing something that can help out, even on a extremely modest level. As the nature of the work is demanding, what I find inspiring and heart warming, are the doctors, nurses and workers and volunteers, who find it in themselves to care compassionately and without judgement. I don't know how they do it, and maybe they don't either. They just do it...
